I'm beginning to build my crowdfunding page for Han Cluster. The trick is figuring out how to package my content (books, cards, maps, etc.) into reward tiers, possibly separating one large book into two smaller ones, and working out what will and won't be separate add-ons. Tricky business.

If you're into #ttrpg then you might like the webcomic I illustrated, 💎Crystal Heart💙. It follows a group of players and their characters in a unique setting, and actually teaches the Savage Worlds system as you read!

I still miss G+ circles and collections. It was a perfect way to control which of your peeps can see which content and to follow only content in which you're interested. Want to follow someone's RPG or art collection of posts without following their political posts or vice versa? You could do that.

Hello new butterflies! Have you heard the good word of our webcomic Crystal Heart?
It's about four people playing a ttrpg in a world where everyone's heart is made of stone, and special Agents can replace theirs with Crystals that give them superpowers and surprising personality quirks.

Self promo time! I illustrate a weekly webcomic called Crystal Heart, written by @nnesk.bsky.social. It follows a roleplaying game in an original setting with super powers, mysterious ancient civilisations, a powerful dodgy organisation, and replacing your heart with shiny crystals. >
